My friends need to treat you like I am treated

[rhartill]

I am a big fan of your site, and thought I'd drop a line to tell you that in spite of your problems with the DOGM,
I am allowed access to "dangerous" mines all the time throughout Utah and the West. I am allowed to do this day or night on private or public land 24 hours day or night. I am not considered a trespasser nor does anyone think I have a death wish for exploring old mines nor do they think I am a suicidal maniac.

In fact the State and Federal government assist me in freely using these abandoned mines. Get with it guys, you need to find a way to get my friends at the DOGM, BLM, OSM, and USFS to treat you like like treat me.

Sincerely,

Corynorhinus "Cory" Townsendii

Wow Cory. I'd have to say I'm extremely jealous of your rights of entry. We'd love to become friends with these organizations like you have. I've heard of some attempting to in the past with little to no success. Perhaps this is a better way to go? It still doesn't stop the reclamation and backfilling of sites though.

We too have no suicide wish. In fact, we do everything in our power to prevent any mishap inside a mine. And so far, we haven't encountered any issues. Why do the feds and state assist you with entrance? Are you working a program with them?

Thanks for the info Cory. Appreciate any help we can get.

Ive heard that in some countries when you kiss a frog it turns into a prince, could you possibly kiss us Mr. Bat and turn us into a bat also?
Except for Mike, turn him into a squirrel because he totally fell for the joke. :P

So is it true that when you fly out of the chicken wire and feed at night you cannot return to the roost because you are too full?
That's what our friend Blaster Lois of the DOGM has told us.

Ah suck again! I so Chineese! Perhaps Crystal fell for it too? She was confused why this Cory guy would post under Russ, as was I! Maybe next time we'll read the last word.
